Contour Crafting Plans to 3D Print a House in 24 Hours

When I started writing for Rapid Ready, I didn’t expect to talk about creating actual buildings. My knowledge of additive manufacturing (AM) was limited to rapid prototyping and the few toys (like cell phone covers) that were available at the time. Then I found Monolite UK. And then came Softkill and then ESA’s moon base plan.

All in all, I find the idea of AM construction to be fascinating. Hopefully, you find the idea of 3D printing a building just as interesting as I do, because I have more information on the subject to share.
